Suzi, maybe you need a stronger painkiller than ibuprofen. (Sorry if that's the totally obvious conclusion you already arrived at; I'm undercaffeinated at the moment.)
Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

I have ibuprofen, lorazapram, and Vicodin. Trying to balanc the three to stay functional.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
We had a serious Freecycle score last night: a giant bag of girls' costume pieces.
Ooh, that sounds awesome!

Yeah, that is a tricky balance when you want to stay functional. I hope your dentist has a solution for you -- dental pain sucks hard.

I feel almost embarrassed at feeling too warm and uncomfortable in what counts for balmy everywhere else, but it's San Francisco.
As a contrast, it's 60F in Chicago and I'm wearing a sweater.
No jacket, though. That would be ridiculous.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
We're down to a predicted high of 87 today. I'm excited! Except that I double-checked my phone and now it says 97. Boo.
Today's outfit complies with the buffista office appropriate dress code: cap-sleeved tunic over a mid-calf length skirt, bare legs. Most importantly, this skirt has pockets. For a moment this morning I considered wearing polka-dots with checks, but I chickened out and went with a solid.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I also didn't realize that IEEE would have their own jobs site! That would be good inasmuch as I speak fluent Engineerise.
Yes, the long dark winter of our hiring freeze is over! To avoid confusion, I should mention, IEEE has two "jobs" sites: one for eng and tech jobs in the industry, not with us, and one for jobs with IEEE. We have offices in CA, DC, NY, and NJ. It's a good company.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Also, it's 80 degrees here with 66% humidity and Chicago sounds real good to me, as I sit here sweating from the terrible exertion of walking inside from the car.

It's oddly chilly here -- 65 and rainy. I'm thinking pea soup for lunch.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I just bought my own health insurance for the first time ever. It wasn't as painful as it could be, I guess. HR hired someone to sit down with all the fired people and walk us through it.
